This book examines how Botswana overcame the legacies of
exceptional resource deficiency, colonial neglect and a harsh
physical environment to transform itself from one of the poorest
nations of the world to a middle income economy with significant
reductions in people's poverty. It reviews the interactions of
economic, social and institutional policies and how these
reinforced one another to produce the poverty outcomes that they
did from the initial socio-economic conditions. In particular it
illustrates how the chosen development strategies consistently tied
social and economic policies to achieve, on the one hand,
re-distribution, protection and reproduction and, on the other,
investment in production and human capabilities. The substantive
areas covered include trends in economic development strategies and
outcome; social policies and strategies and their impact on poverty
and productive capacity; income and wealth distribution; the role
of organized interest groups in policy development; and
institutional development, state capacity and politics.
